You trying to admit that you are gullible?

Personally, I can’t stand this stack of crap that is being pushed in this bill, but the extension of the tax cuts? This is a sword of Damocles thing. We’re basically effed either way, with the only real small but possible solution being growing our way out of the current hole we are in. I don’t see raising taxes to be an effective method to stimulate growth. And while I have moral and ethical problems with the removal of taxes on tip wages and overtime, the practical effect is negligible, and I have always had an issue with taxing SS income.

I’m trying to say that the biggest allies to DJT and MAGA are his opponents. What a sad and miserable lot.

So you may have heard Hakim Jeffries broke the record and spoke for 8hrs and 45m to delay voting on the bill.
I was curious so I looked up who had the record he broke. It was Kevin McCarthy, who also as minority leader delayed a vote on a big Biden bill in 2021.
He spoke 8hrs and 32m, to break the previous record before that. I was curious who held that previous record so I looked it up.
It was Nancy Pelosi, who spoke for 8hrs and 7m in 2018 delaying a vote on a Trump bill.
So apparently this is a thing now. Future minority leaders should be careful to only break the previous record by a minute or so to prevent later future minority leaders from having to pull a Corey Booker. You know, pay it forward.

China to win the AI arms race ... the argument goes that because the bill cuts clean/renewable energy subsidies, that will lead to the U.S. developing 344 Gigawatts of new electricity generation capacity over the next ten years, handicapping the American AI industry, ceding the win to China that is taking the "all of the above" approach to energy development and adding new electricity generation capacity like crazy.
